Who do yall think is the top 5 now in the light welterweight division? Personally I think it goes like this 1. Timothy Bradley 2. Amir Khan 3. Devon Alexander 4. Lucas Matthysse 5. Marcos Maidana I think if Brandon Rios moves up in weight then he can make this list also
Those domestic-level athletes do not belong in the top 5. I have revised your list, replacing the athletes on your list with the Euro-level professionals who I believe occupy the top 5 positions in the division: 1. Denis Shafikov 25-0 2. Volodymyr Kravets 24-0 3. Aslanbek Kozaev 13-0 4. Viktor Postol 12-0 5. Artem Ayvazidi 10-0
think the list is pretty much spot on, though i would personally switch maidana for matthysse he's done more at L welterweight to warrant the number 4 spot
I agree with you that he's done more, but I personally think that he's is just a better fighter. I know he needs to prove it first, but I think he's got skill and he should be undefeated right now
I have difficulty deciding who is one, but while we are still waiting for alexander bradley I will go with khan because he already won his semi. 1.Khan 2.bradley 3.alexander 4.maidana 5.Ortiz
This ^^^^^ But I wuld also replace Matthysse with Judah, on name value alone for now...I personally think Lucas needs a few signature fights to crack the top 5, maybe against Maidana or even Ortiz.
What do you guys think about Lucas Matthysse:think I may be too quick to put him there, but I think he can easily reach that spot. I think he's better than Maidana
I think he can get to the top 5. With some improvement/experience, he'll be real tough for a lot of guys. His chin is solid, he has serious power, and he has a lot of mental toughness.
